The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Pereira seemed to deliberately wheedle people's appetites. He smiled slightly, took a sip from the water glass on the table, and the reporters below made a slight commotion, so he sat up straight again and coughed lightly.

This time he didn't delay any longer, he just opened his mouth and came. "Ricardo Luiz de Lima!"

Some people didn't react for a while, but a few keen reporters jumped up excitedly.

big news! At only 16 years old, Ricardo was selected for the national team for the first time!

A moment of reverie ensued. Will Ricardo be able to play in the next two friendly matches? If you play, can you score a goal?

If Ricardo can play and score a goal, he will break the 45-year-old Brazilian record held by the football king Pele!

Such reveries make people tremble!

Ricardo also got the news immediately.

Rico rushed to his room excitedly, opened his mouth and shouted, "Licado, you're selected, you're selected!"

Looking at his joyful look, it's like he himself was selected for the national team.

It can be seen that he really regards Licaduo as a good brother, and he is sincerely happy for Licaduo.

Riccardo thought he had heard wrong, or Rico was lying to him. But Rico probably doesn't have such good acting skills.

He stood up from the laptop, his hands trembling uncontrollably: "Really?"

"Of course it is true!" Rico nodded emphatically, "Congratulations, Ricardo, from now on, you are a Brazilian international!"

Ricardo immediately sat back and clicked on the official website of Lance Sports News. A few minutes later, the official website finally refreshed the news: Brazil coach Pereira announced the 22-man roster for the new national team, and Ricardo and Adriano were selected for the first time.

This is real!

A strange trembling sensation spread throughout Licado's body, making him feel powerless.

Finally... finally... playing with Ronaldo!

What I have been looking forward to since my rebirth is finally about to become a reality.

And this time the opponent... Licardo glanced at the laptop screen.

On February 12th, the Brazilian national team will be a guest at the GZ Olympic Stadium to play against the Chinese national team!

This is fate? Is it fate?

Ricardo, who is half Brazilian and half Chinese, was selected for the first match of the Brazilian national team against the Chinese national team!

Of course, the premise is that he can get the chance to play.

This night, Licado's cell phone ringing basically never stopped. Club teammates, coaches, friends from the youth team, mother Li Mei, brothers Ronaldo and Nenario, neighbors, Ambrosio, Cedella, Yang brothers and Olivia little Lolita, Acquainted reporters, media professionals who have worked with him...all called to congratulate him.

Li Cardo's selection made some media applaud, but some media held different views. For example, "Scoreboard", Adrian Jesus wrote in the column: "Has Pereira lost his mind? A 16-year-old kid was selected for the national team. What does he think of the national team! You Just because this kid is Ronaldo’s younger brother, he cannot be gilded in the national team. The meaning of the national team is sacred and cannot be humiliated!”

...

Everyone found that Ricardo was more active in training, he seemed to be burning himself and constantly improving his state.

Robert Rojas was not happy about this, but frowned a little.

This is the beginning of the season, and there is still a long season ahead. In particular, Brazilian club games are known for their intensive competition.

Improving the state to the best now, what should I do next? Going downhill step by step?

He talked to Ricardo once.

In the youth team, Roberto Rojas and Ricardo got along well.

we can even say,

He is Ricardo's bole.

It was he who transferred Ricardo from the third echelon to U20.

It was he who gave Ricardo the main position in the U20 youth team.

It's just that in the last few months of Licado's youth team, he had some unpleasant quarrels with him because of those nonsense, and he also fined Licardo and not allowed to participate in joint training.

But it was just a little unpleasant, not to the point of tearing the skin.

"Little Ricardo," Robert Rojas still called Ricardo habitually, "You have been training a little bit hard recently."

"Maybe I'm too excited." Licado said with a smile.

"That's right, after all, you have just been selected for the national team," Rojas called Ricardo to congratulate him on the night he was selected for the national team, "but I hope you stay calm and speed up slowly, and then you can Stay in shape for a long time.”

"I'm here to stay."

Rojas is still a little worried, but he can't say much. He changed the subject and said, "February 5 is the first game of our South American Copa Libertadores. I hope you are ready. Our opponent Cali America is not a weak team."

"Before that, I will adjust my physical condition to the best." Ricardo said succinctly.

Sao Paulo's opponents in this South American Copa Libertadores group stage include Colombia's Cali América, Ecuador's National Atlético, and Paraguay's October 12 team.

Among them, Cali America is a famous club in South America, which should not be underestimated. The other two opponents are less powerful.

Riccardo is eager for honor, eager to win the final honor in this Copa Libertadores. He still remembers his promise to Kaka: take one or two championships before leaving.

Now that the national championship title has been missed, he doesn't want to miss out on another important game.

"That's good," Rojas said. "This season I hope you can improve even more than last season. Don't live up to my expectations."

Roxas has high expectations of himself, and Ricardo is very clear about this. In training, he has discovered that Rojas is intentionally or unintentionally building himself as the core of the new offense, and seems to be preparing for Kaka's departure.

In January, several clubs, including Serie A giants AC Milan, put forward tentative offers for Kaka. Kaka rejected them through his agent, but his agent also clearly told the club that Kaka would only stay. By this summer, I hope the club will not forcibly block it.

Under such a premise, Roxas intends to put Licado in the right position, which can be regarded as a rainy day.

"I think I will exceed your expectations." Ricardo said simply.

Rojas smiled. "Okay, that's all for this conversation. Finally, I remind you, don't get hurt."

"Thank you, no." Ricardo turned and left Rojas' office and returned to the stadium.

The air is so fresh and the mood is so beautiful, why not work hard.

However, before going to the South American arena, Sao Paulo still has the Sao Paulo State League to deal with.

Due to the chaos of the Brazilian National Championship, this national event is not very important in the eyes of Brazilian clubs. Instead, many clubs pay more attention to the state championship in their state. The measure of a team's success is how many state championships they have won. The so-called thirteen big teams in Brazil, without exception, are all teams that won the state championship and won the soft hand.

Sao Paulo's 20 state championships also put them among the top Brazilian clubs.
